What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter, over about 15 years. Across those companies the filings report $47.1M sold in total.

Listed alongside Gary E. Frashier (3 shared filings), Henry Brem (3 shared filings), Kenneth L. Rice, Jr. (3 shared filings), Lakhmir Chawla (3 shared filings), Mark Pykett (3 shared filings) and 22 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around John. Each name links to their own page.

The issuers belong to 2 sponsor groups: Vantem (2 issuers, $10.1M reported sold, 2019–2022) and Avenue (12 issuers, $12.8M reported sold, 2015–2024).

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 8 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 11 public filings for John T. Preston and found 16 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

16 differences found between the filings for John T. Preston — 1 worth asking about (compared 11 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 21, 2009 – Nov 10, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — ALSERES PHARMACEUTICALS INC /DE

The Aug 21, 2009 filing says $3,900,000 sold; the Nov 10, 2009 Form D says $1,000,000 sold — $2,900,000 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Note · Aug 12, 2024 – Sep 5, 2024

Form D filed 24 days after the first sale — ExThera Medical Corp

The filing says the first sale was Aug 12, 2024. The Form D was filed Sep 5, 2024 — 24 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 9 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Jul 30, 2021 – Sep 13, 2021

Form D filed 45 days after the first sale — ExThera Medical Corp

The filing says the first sale was Jul 30, 2021. The Form D was filed Sep 13, 2021 — 45 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 30 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Feb 5, 2021 – Mar 25, 2021

Form D filed 48 days after the first sale — ExThera Medical Corp

The filing says the first sale was Feb 5, 2021. The Form D was filed Mar 25, 2021 — 48 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 33 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

John T. Preston's role changed at Vantem Global Inc.: director → executive officer, director

The May 3, 2021 filing lists John T. Preston as director; the Jun 14, 2022 Form D lists executive officer, director.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Sources
Note · Aug 21, 2009 – Nov 10, 2009

Offering amount lowered between filings — ALSERES PHARMACEUTICALS INC /DE

The Aug 21, 2009 filing says $5,000,000 offered; the Nov 10, 2009 Form D says $1,000,000.

What this means The target raise got smaller. That can mean the plan shrank or the sponsor stopped early. Ask what changed in the deal.

Sources
Note · Apr 1, 2009 – Aug 21, 2009

Offering amount changed between filings — ALSERES PHARMACEUTICALS INC /DE

The Apr 1, 2009 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Aug 21, 2009 Form D/A says $5,000,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Jul 30, 2021 – Sep 13, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — ExThera Medical Corp (latest filing Sep 13, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Sep 13, 2021 (first sale Jul 30, 2021). It reports $6,707,507 sold of $20,000,001 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Sources
Note · Sep 18, 2018 – Sep 19, 2018

John T. Preston is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "John T. Preston" on 4 filings (from Apr 1, 2009), and "John Preston" on 7 filings (from Sep 19, 2018).

Industry group changed between filings — Vantem Global Inc.

"Manufacturing" (May 3, 2021); then "Other Technology" (Jun 14, 2022).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Same name, different state: "JOHN PRESTON" (MI) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is MA or CA. A separate record, "JOHN PRESTON" with address state MI, is listed on 2 filings — most recently by Heat2Power Inc. (Apr 8, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 1, 2009 to Oct 31, 2012; the other runs Jan 27, 2025 to Apr 8, 2026.

The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Apr 1, 2009 to Oct 31, 2012; the other has one filing dated Jun 29, 2017.

John T. Preston is listed with 2 different address states: MA, CA

MA on 8 filings (Apr 1, 2009 to Jun 14, 2022); CA on 3 filings (Mar 25, 2021 to Sep 5, 2024).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

Reported revenue range changed between filings — Vantem Global Inc.

"$1,000,001 - $5,000,000" (May 3, 2021); then "Decline to Disclose" (Jun 14, 2022).

What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

Sources
What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
